Chapter 71: Evil Awe-inspiring
Jiangnan Film and Television City Resort.
At the end of the closed training camp, the martial arts instructor of "The First Sword in the World": Chen Xiaodong officially joined the group.
This martial artist is known as one of the eight major martial arts instructors in the Chinese film industry, and is as famous as Dong Qiyu, the martial arts instructor of the previous "Night Rain Jianghu".
However, what is interesting is that although the hard power of the two is similar, Dong Qiyu has a short temper and is extremely popular, while Chen Xiaodong is famous for his long-sleeved dancing and exquisite eight-faced.
There have been several times when Dong Qiyu choked up with the director, threw off his sleeves and left or was thrown away, and then it was Chen Xiaodong who came to save the scene instead of him.
Because of this, Chen Xiaodong gradually gained the nickname of "firefighter" in the industry.
The contradictions between the two are almost well known, and they don't know how many times they have been sprayed openly.
"Yes, that's it, Xiao Xu understands quickly, the key is to have a pause in the process of exerting force......"
On the day Chen Xiaodong joined the group, he immediately gathered several main actors and formulated a training plan for their own situations.
Ren Pengfei, Zhong Tao and others have rich experience in the filming of costume dramas, and it is very worry-free to teach;
And Xu Zhen gave him a big surprise.
From the beginning of the warm-up, Chen Xiaodong kept praising Xu Zhen, praising him for his upright posture, praising him for his solid foundation, praising him for learning quickly, practicing well, and having a high degree of completion, and even deliberately found the director and asked if he could add a few more scenes to Xu Zhen.
made Xu Zhen himself a little confused.
What's going on?
Could it be because he once made Dong Qiyu deflated, so this uncle looks at himself very pleasing to the eye?
Unknown.
Forget it, if people want to give it, just take it, don't be in vain......
Seeing that Chen Xiaodong's preference for Xu Zhen had reached the point of inhumanity, Ren Pengfei and Zhong Tao watched from the side, and they were almost sour.
Uncle! Look at me, too!
I'm okay with Jio, I'm okay with playing!
Especially Zhong Tao.
Originally, he "declared war" on Xu Zhen to compete for the role of Xia Xueyi, which was just a joke.
Just kidding, I look up to the emperor in a dignified manner, how can I lose to such a young man.
The only competitor is just the stinky and shameless Chen Zhenghao who is demoted to grab food.
However, now that he looked at it, Zhong Tao suddenly realized that it seemed that he was not sure to win in the face of Xu Zhen.
At least, people's image is better than their own, and their playing is better than their own......
The production company of "Blue Blood Sword" is Zhong Tao's Xiangjiang Pictures, and he knows very well the urine nature of these people:
Use your brain to shoot the scene, and use your feet to shoot the plot.
Xu Zhen's acting skills are also passable, at least he doesn't let people play.
Perhaps, which fairy director has the wrong brain, and wants to boldly use newcomers for his play?
Thinking like this, Zhong Tao's whole aura involuntarily became gloomy.
Well, the audition in three days is a tough battle......
I'm going to have to dig into my strengths.
For the role of Xia Xueyi, what are my advantages?
- Because, I'm good at playing "villains"!
With this thought, Ren Pengfei, who was practicing with him, couldn't help but shudder.
He put the knife back into its sheath and looked at Zhong Tao beside him suspiciously.
Brother Tao, what's wrong?
Why did I suddenly feel a murderous aura??
……
In the evening of the same day, after a day's training, Xu Zhen went to a small bookstore on the east side of the resort, borrowed a set of "Blue Blood Sword" as usual, found a seat and quietly flipped through it.
The role of "Golden Snake Langjun" Xia Xueyi is undoubtedly a huge challenge for him now.
It's not so much about age.
Xu Zhen is not a baby face, the age characteristics on his body are relatively vague, and he can easily adjust it through makeup.
The main problem lies in the setting of the characters.
No matter how much you quibble and argue, one thing must be admitted: Xia Xueyi is a "wicked person".
Whether it is because of the tragedy in his childhood that he is psychologically distorted, or because he is blinded by hatred so that he can't turn back, Xia Xueyi is a person who has really done evil.
This person has his own principles for dealing with people, but he has no moral bottom line.
That's a bit tricky.
Xu Zhen can put on the mask of a wicked person by watching videos and watching the information of his predecessors.
However, he could not grasp the soul of this man.
Don't persuade others to be kind without others suffering.
As a spectator, Xu Zhen likes the character of Xia Xueyi very much, but he doesn't understand Xia Xueyi.
"Yo, you're so idle, hiding here to read a novel?"
Just when he was entangled, he suddenly heard someone talking to him, and when he looked back, he saw that it was Yu Mei.
Yu Mei held a few magazines in his hand, sat down opposite him, and asked, "What are you looking at?" ”
Xu Zhen raised the novel in his hand, showed the cover, and said, "Blue Blood Sword." ”
"Huh......" Yu Mei curled the corners of her mouth with interest.
"Golden Snake Langjun Xia Xueyi, you really plan to audition......" She took the novel from Xu Zhen's hand and said with a smile, "Sister don't like to listen to what you say, you can't get this role." ”
"Competing with Chen Zhenghao and Zhong Tao, you are still a little tender."
Xu Zhen: "......"
Pierced the old iron!
Yu Mei saw his deflated expression, covered his mouth and laughed, and said, "Hey, it's okay, if you can't get it, you can't get it, audition, how can it be so smooth sailing?" ”
"You try your best, even if you can't get the role, you can add a block to others, right?"
Xu Zhen: "......"
He sneered and said, "Sister Mei, can you please show me the direction of my efforts?" ”
Yu Mei thought for a while and said, "Normally, you should spend at least half a month writing a biography of this character, substituting his life into your own body, and trying to understand the psychology of this character." ”
"However, it will definitely be too late for a few days."
"My suggestion is ......"
Yu Mei rubbed his chin and said, "You only catch one look." ”
"Golden Snake Langjun, he is a poisonous snake that chooses people to devour."
"You don't care about anything these days, focus on thinking about how to play a 'poisonous snake'."
Saying that, Yu Mei smiled and said: "There is one thing that newcomers may not understand very well. ”
"When we evaluate how good a person's acting skills are, we often evaluate not his average score, but the peak."
"Some people are obviously very average in their usual level, but there is a moment or two when they poke the audience's point, and some people will take this as evidence that he is an acting school."
"The only thing you can do now is to seize a moment like this."
Xu Zhen was slightly stunned when he heard this, thoughtful.
……
Three days later.
Xu Zhen asked the crew of "The First Knife in the World" for a day off and embarked on the journey of auditioning for the Golden Snake Langjun Xia Xueyi.
Zhou Xiaoman on the side glanced at him, only to feel that Xu Zhen seemed to be chattering a little recently, often sitting alone in front of the window, staring at the scenery outside.
"Bell bell bell ......"
On the way to Hengzhou, Qiao Feng made a video call to Xu Zhen.
"How's the preparation?" Qiao Feng said in the camera, "How do I think you seem to be a little listless?" ”
Xu Zhen's eyes seemed to be a little unfocused, and after a while, he said, "Brother Qiao, I don't know how to prepare, can you help me take a look?" ”
Qiao Feng asked, "What are you looking at?" ”
Xu Zhen said: "Watch me play Xia Xueyi." ”
With that, he closed his eyes slightly.
After a few deep breaths, those eyes snapped back open.
"Smack!"
With a crisp sound, the video call abruptly cut off.
Xu Zhen: "......"
What's going on?
I haven't started acting yet!
……
At the same time, Qiao Feng on the other end of the phone stood in a shopping mall in a daze, and the mobile phone in his hand had accidentally slipped to the ground.
"Sir, your phone is missing."
The cleaner on the side kindly reminded.
When Qiao Feng heard this, he turned around and squatted down to pick up the mobile phone on the ground.
Groove ......
What did I just see?!
What kind of evil eyes is this kid...... Almost scared me out of my heart attack!!
